Predictable finance for personal injury law firms

Fractional CFO and bookkeeping built for the financial realities of contingency-fee law firms — cash flow that comes in waves, case costs that pile up, and trust accounting that can't afford mistakes.

Personal Injury law firm financial uncertainty - solved

Feast-or-famine cash flow

You closed a great case last quarter — but this quarter's been quiet. Contingency fees mean revenue comes in waves, making it hard to cover payroll, case costs, and overhead consistently.

Case costs are eating your cash

Medical records, expert witnesses, court fees — you are financing cases for months or years before you see a dollar. Without a clear cash picture, every new case feels like a gamble.

Trust accounts keep you awake

IOLTA compliance is not optional, but managing trust accounts alongside operating funds is complex and high-stakes. One mistake can mean a bar complaint.

Can't predict = Can't plan

Hiring an associate, moving offices, investing in marketing — every growth decision stalls because you don't know what next quarter's revenue looks like.

Can't control settlement timing

You have done the work, but the insurance company is dragging its feet. Meanwhile, your bills don't wait. You need a plan that accounts for this reality.

Compensation is guesswork

How do you pay associates, paralegals or partners fairly when firm revenue is inherently lumpy? Without the right data, compensation decisions create friction instead of motivation.

We work with law firms across practice areas

While we have built deep expertise in the contingency-fee model, we understand the financial challenges across different practice areas — from utilization and realization rates to trust accounting and cash flow planning. If you run a small law firm in Austin, we would love to talk.
